At the time the predominant government type was the monarchy. England had established a monarchy like that of the classic Roman republic where there was one head of government with a body of representatives of the people; being a monarchy with a parliament instead of a senate. Later England would remove the monarchy with a prime minister that was chosen by vote by the people and parliament became more than just an advisory committee of a king or queen. But before that occurred, the American colonists, who wanted better, more direct, representation sent King George a Declaration of Independence in defiance to a monarchy that refused to listen to the people.</div><a name='more'></a>Those men who gathered on behalf of each of the thirteen colonies put together a continental congress that would be a temporary government that would be the government for the united colonies that had begun a revolution to procure freedom and independence from a monarchical tyrant 3,000 miles across the sea.<br /><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rvx2HVB3ooE/ViuZ5ngRZgI/AAAAAAAAN7U/xIFoeTyd7K4/s1600/Republic-Not-Democracy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="122" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rvx2HVB3ooE/ViuZ5ngRZgI/AAAAAAAAN7U/xIFoeTyd7K4/s320/Republic-Not-Democracy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Once that independence was established and the revolution was won, the Founders gathered together in Philadelphia to establish a government and a constitution that would bind the colonies-turned-states into one nation with a central government with certain rights for the individual state governments. The Founders concluded that while democracy had its merits, as well as a republic, neither form would last if the head of state would be a monarch. The government was formed with three branches: executive, legislative, and judiciary – all of which were separated, but act by regulations established as one central, federal government that required vote of representatives and senators of each state government by and for the People. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/aristotle/"><b>Aristotle</b></a>, the great Greek philosopher, <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/democracy.html">stated</a>:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Democracy was created and established by the Greeks in the city-state of Athens in the 5</span></span><sup><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">th</span></span></sup><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">century BC that also included the surrounding territory of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attica">Attica</a>.

The original political party system consisted of the Whig Party and the </span></span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Party_System"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Second Party System </span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">was the </span></span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Democratic_Party"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Democratic Party</span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, calling themselves </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Democrats</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. The first member of the Democratic Party was </span></span><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Jackson"><span style="font-style: normal;">Andrew Jackson</span></a></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Whig Party was transformed into the </span></span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Republican_Party"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Republican Party</span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">by the time </span></span><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln"><span style="font-style: normal;">Abraham Lincoln</span></a></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">campaigned for office in 1860 and won the national election as President of the United States. The party was given the acronym nickname of “GOP” (Grand Old Party) and is one of the world's oldest political parties that still exists. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In the beginning, the major difference between the two parties was the Democratic Party based its platform on democracy, and the GOP based its platform upon the republic that was established by the Founders. Another major difference that led to a Civil War was the Democratic Party favored slavery, while Republicans did not. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president. Originally, the GOP was the anti-slavery party that consisted of northern White and African Americans (after an amendment certified their right to vote), businessmen, factory workers, and northern farmers; while the Democrats were predominantly in the South, pro-slavery and agricultural folks of that region. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">After the Restoration period after the Civil War and again after Civil Rights movement took hold, the GOP expanded throughout the South as socially conservative. By then the two-party system was established and while Democrats and Republicans opposed each other, both were determined there would be no third party and sought to hinder any independent candidates.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Democratic Party began its turn toward socialist idealism in the 1920s when </span></span><b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson"><span style="font-style: normal;">Woodrow Wilson </span></a></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">was president beginning with social engineering policies and using unconstitutional government authority to impose moral ideology in the form of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition">Prohibition Act</a>. Wilson was the leader of the </span></span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Movement"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Progressive Movement</span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. He established, with the help of Democrat control of Congress, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Act">Federal Reserve Act</a>, created by a secretive group of banking tycoons that began at a meeting at Jekyll Island. </span></span><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._Edward_Griffin"><span style="font-style: normal;">G.

Labor unions were becoming established during this period and the Wilson administration began the practice of the Democratic Party's support and cooperation of trade unions. Wilson, with the help of a Democrat Congress, signed the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917">Espionage Act of 1917</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Act_of_1918">Sedition Act of 1918</a>, both suppressing any anti-war protests and movements concerning the ongoing war in Europe. Wilson endorsed racial segregation, but at the same time worked to ratify the right for women to vote via a constitutional amendment. He promoted the failed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations">League of Nations</a>, precursor of the United Nations, that also is failing and corrupted, after the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Introduction of socialism was firmly established when </span></span><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt"><span style="font-style: normal;">Franklin Delano Roosevelt</span></a></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(FDR) came to be president who holds the record of having four successive terms, from 1933 to 1945. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">At the time, the world was in economic depression. His socialist plan called the </span></span><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal"><span style="font-weight: normal;">New Deal</span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, was popular with Americans because of their desperation in what would become known as the </span></span><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Great Depression</span></a></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. FDR realigned American politics and the Democrat Party as “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_liberalism_in_the_United_States">liberals</a>” instead of “progressives” as Wilson did. FDR united labor unions, created big-city political machines (Chicago political machine being the most infamous and longest lasting), and firmly established democratic socialism as the Democratic Party's agenda. The Social Security was created for people who reached a certain age (which continues to be extended) could receive a monthly retirement benefit. Before Social Security, if a senior citizen did not have any other retirement benefit, would end up depending upon the family unit or perish in poverty. It was based upon a certain amount being withdrawn from salaries and wages in order to accumulate enough to receive a monthly stipend at retirement age. It is not part of the welfare system that Democrats consistently push for, but a forced pension system that was established as a 'trust' fund, meaning that those funds were to be used for nothing else but social security payouts. Democrats have blamed the lack of funds in the 'trust' system on the 'baby boomer' population because, they say, there are too many reaching retirement age. But the truth is that over the decades, Congress has dipped into that 'trust' fund to pay for other welfare programs and national debt problems. Like the Constitution, it has been abused and misused, departing from the original idea of its establishment. It was, indirectly, and as the program progressed, directly, a means to provide identifying numbers to citizens and keep track of the populace in concert with the unconstitional income tax system. It also became a means of identification fraud, which has helped the Democrat's move to welcome illegal immigrants into the fold of their political entity. It became, like too many federal programs, a means to control the People. Today, citizens are given a social security number at birth, and since the 1970s, even military use their social security number as their military identifying number system.</span></span><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">While Democrats are the primary guilty party, the Republicans have a share on that blame as well. Just as the Democrats allowed themselves to progress into socialism, using democracy as the Athenians did, which ultimately became rule by the mob, instead of the rule of law. Democrats choose to bend the rules whenever it fits their agenda, while Republicans blemish the name of their party by going along with the flow.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">FDR and democracy:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">But the Democrat Party, since the time of FDR, has not realized that rule of the mob doesn't work because politicians use emotion and convincing citizens that government can overseer the lives of citizens better than they can for themselves. Thus was established a welfare state environment that counters free enterprise, property rights and other liberties established by the Founders that, especially </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">John Adams</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, had warned about a democratic form of government, instead of a constitutional republic. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">FDR <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/democracy.html">stated</a>:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.</span></span></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">While description of our form of government as a democracy was not new, it was firmly established by FDR and his fellow Democrats. Labor unions had been established in the United States through immigration of the Marxist ideology of Europe. Labor/trade unions of the United States had been infiltrated by organized crime lords because they saw the potential of creating wealth via legal means. Politicians were bought with political donations, and while, certain unions contribute to the GOP, the unions represent the largest cumulative donors of the Democratic Party – and continues today. The unions have worked their way into the government employee sector, which is unconstitutional because that is the job of Congress along with overseeing the handling of funds. With the Democratic and help of some Republicans, the limitations of government prescribed by the Constitution has been circumvented, including allowing a private entity (unions) to dictate government employee policies instead of the executive and legislative branches. This is especially dangerous since unions spend large sums of money funding politicians that will guarantee its form of monopoly.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">While politicians point blame elsewhere, trade unions have played a big part in chasing automakers overseas, as leading economists have pointed out. It is because trade unions and its members do not care about the bottomline and what makes a business successful. In effect, trade unions, after initially helping to improve worker environment and salaries/wages meeting inflationary factors; it has outlived its usefulness becoming a powerful political tool and like a parasite ends up killing its host. Another aspect is that unions, like over-regulated, without limitations, government; it hurts the economy by raising prices of products and services to the consumer.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Democratic socialists learned from Marxism that by becoming the authority and power over educational institutions, it can push their ideology and further progress agenda by indoctrination of a nation's youth. Social engineering and other methods are being used by democratic progressives to create a population that does not and refuses to think outside the box of what is prescribed by those operating our federal government. This and other situations has come about because We the People did not ensure that those we elect preserve and maintain the constitutional republic, rule of law; rather than rule of mob that democracy progresses to, then socialism, and finally oligarchy.

Five men were caught breaking into the Democratic National Headquarters located at the Watergate business complex. When investigation went into processing, Nixon and his advisors chose to cover-up the incident. Few will remember that President Nixon made profound statements like:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>The people's right to change what does not work is one of the greatest principles of our system of government.</b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The US Congress and political elements of the executive branch over the decades have been guilty of continuing the same policies and ideologies despite proof that they do not work or achieve results expected or professed.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The gist of this problem is based on the refusal to use the articles and amendments of the US Constitution as the foundation for all laws and regulations in the United States; primarily because those that operate our government have ignored and downplayed the important principles of the check-and-balance system as well as the limitations prescribed in the articles of the Constitution so meticulously and wisely by the architects and founders of our nation. Bureaucrats, effectively political prostitutes, have continued to point the blame everywhere but where the problematic sources have originated.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">For example: blaming economical problems on corporate greed, blaming high prices of petroleum products on the oil companies, and blaming the 'Baby Boomer' generation for the depleting “Trust” fund of Social Security, to name a few. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Despots and dictators become powerful leaders because of a prime reason: obsession. History reveals such a phenomenon with infamous characters like Mao of China, Hitler of Nazi Germany, military command of the Imperial Japanese who used the power and veneration of the Japanese Emperor to fulfill their obsession of tyranny and domination. Nixon was also obsessed, having failed more than once to become president. Whether he gave the order to put in place Operation Deep Throat or not, the guilt that was to lead to his impeachment was caused by his obsession and not being honest to the People that voted him into office. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Today we have a president who has been fabricated by political handlers of a political entity, his associations and his personal background were covered up to ensure that the political cartel would be successful in getting him elected as president. BH Obama also has obsessions that feeds his egotistical personality, narcissism, and lives a life that has been fabricated and filled with lies. Surely someone could blame the continued corruption of the political entity called the Democrat(ic) Party; but the gist of the problematic phenomenon lies upon the People who elected him and those that elect candidates for the wrong reasons, whether it is the president or a member of Congress. It has been difficult to choose candidates as the decades rolled by since FDR because the media has also become corrupted and developed the power of controlling information instead of disseminating it objectively with the principle of being the 'eyes and ears' of the people. Instead, it has been the mouthpiece for political propaganda and corrupt policies. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Stalin, another infamous character of history, signed a pact with Hitler to carve up Europe and a proposed communist and national socialist treaty which Hitler never intended to keep. FDR and reluctantly Churchill decided that the enemy of our enemy should be our friend, and so the triple alliance was formed to destroy the strong and resourceful Nazi regime in its mad determination to control Europe and North Africa; leaving the Eastern world and Polynesia to the control of the Imperial Japanese. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Nazi Germany was difficult to defeat because of its technological advancement of German scientists and engineers as well as the German pride in efficiency who had the best equipped military in the world. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Imperial Japanese were difficult to defeat because of their political-religious tradition of emperor worship and the desire to expand Japan that was limited to an island nation.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Up to most recent history, wars have been fought against a nation with combatants who wore significant uniforms. Generally it was easy to distinguish who the enemy was until the United States got involved with the conflict between North and South Vietnam under the policy to not allow communism to expand any further than it already had. Yet, Stalin was allowed to divide defeated Germany and control the states of Eastern Europe that became satellite states of the Soviet Union. The enlarged network of spies and infiltrators allowed communism to take hold in the Americas – including the United States, thanks to the Democrat Party who refused to believe that infiltration of communists had reached the political and social infrastructure of the United States. It would have stained the constructed image of their political demagogue, Franklin D. Roosevelt, a man who wrongfully interned Americans of Japanese descent into camps. Society turned its head because of their anger over the Pearl Harbor attack by the Imperial Japanese naval air force. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The biggest threat today is the corruption of our political system that infiltrated communist and socialist ideology has developed with insane political ideology like “political correctness”. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Continued is the policy in the federal government not to alter solutions to problematic policies and ideology, making only temporary repairs and never seeing that they are only slightly postponing the inevitable internal destruction. There is a political obsession in the United States on two fronts: those that believe that socialism is better than the constitutional republic that the Founders created and those who believe that Islamic fascism will go away if we learn to understand them and be tolerant of a theocratic system that is intolerant and are obsessed with a global theocracy domination whose doctrine belongs in the

Attitudes such as that combined with the political correctness mentality that has infiltrated our education system and now our military infrastructure, defers from the truth – we have been at war since September 11, 2001 and our leadership has not officially declared it or have treated it as so. The war was declared upon the United States (Great Britain, Israel, and the agenda of world domination) even before 9/11; but our leadership as well as other nations have ignored the warnings first made by the Reagan administration. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Islamic fascism has infiltrated our nation and cultural infrastructure via organizations like the </span></span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_American-Islamic_Relations" target="_blank"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Council on American-Islamic Relations </span></i></a><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(CAIR) and is allowed to continue despite proof of their support of terrorist and Islamic fascist activities, here and abroad. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">FDR administration ushered in the infiltration of communism that Woodrow Wilson did with socialism. It was an introduction to the United States a movement to replace the constitutional republic with a government where bureaucracy grows, constitutional limitations are ignored, and government control increased to the point that it created the problems that have escalated over the decades with intrusive and restrictive regulations that do nothing but increase the control of government over the people. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">While George W. Bush began an effort to combat Islamic fascism, dubbed the “War Against Terrorism” - the program still did not address the root of the problem or recognize that Islamic fascists had infiltrated our political and social infrastructure, and is headed towards what Europeans are experiencing in the name of tolerance and political correctness as well as the fallout of accepting socialism as a form of government.

The decision to create such a document led to five people appointed to produce a draft.

He worked on the draft from June 11<sup>th</sup> to June 28<sup>th</sup> in 1776; but before he presented his draft to the Continental Congress, he showed it to <b>John Adams</b> and <b>Benjamin Franklin </b>with whom he had developed a close, personal relationship. They inserted their revisions and then on July 1, 1776, the draft was presented to Congress. It was approved and on July 4<sup>th</sup> 1776, it was signed by <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/signers/hancock.htm" target="_blank"><b>John Hancock</b></a> and 55 other men at Independence Hall (then known as the Pennsylvania State House), all representing the united colonies who had decided that a formal declaration must be made to the sovereign and parliament of England.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">An important segment of that document that rocked the English speaking world, was the reference to the <i><a href="http://faculty.cua.edu/pennington/Law508/JeffersonRights.htm#Natural%20rights">law of nature</a>.</i> That concept was devised by <b>Thomas Jefferson</b>, who used it in a legal argument in 1770:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Under the law of nature, all men are born free, every one comes into the world with a right to his own person, which includes the liberty of moving and using it at his own will. This is what is called personal liberty, and is given him by the Author of nature, because necessary for his own sustenance. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">The basic concept of natural law is consisted of freedom of choice. Natural law in itself is derived from the Creator, which in the <i>Book of Genesis</i> it was described that Adam and Eve was afforded the responsibility of freedom of choice and they chose to defy a warning or mandate. Freedom of choice, like liberty/freedom itself requires a responsibility to accept the consequence of choices. </div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">In a letter to <a href="http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/presidents/thomas-jefferson/letters-of-thomas-jefferson/" target="_blank"><b>John Manners</b></a> in 1817, Jefferson wrote:</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>If God has made it a law in the nature of man to pursue his own happiness, He has left him free in the choice of place as well as mode, and we may safely call on the whole body of English jurists to produce the map on which nature has traced for each individual the geographical line which she forbids him to cross in pursuit of happiness. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What that means is that in the pursuit of happiness a line must be drawn so as to not interfere with another person or persons pursuit of happiness. In that, it goes beyond natural law into the realm of common sense. Jefferson was more clear on this matter when in a letter to </span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Nicolas_D%C3%A9meunier" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Jean Nicholas Demeunier</span></b></a><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Being myself a warm zealot for the attainment and enjoyment by all mankind of as much liberty as each may exercise without injury to the equal liberty of his fellow citizens, I have lamented that ...the endeavors to obtain this should have been attended with the effusion of so much blood. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Jefferson alluded to this in a letter to </span></span><a href="http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/archibald-stuart" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Archibald Stuart</span></b></a><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">in 1791:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. </b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In a recent US Supreme Court decision concerning the argument of the legality of same-sex marriage, which should not have been a concern or argument by the federal government, but relegated to the state governments, it was not only a decision that unlawfully bypassed the legislative branch; but also defiance of natural law – a law that is international and an historical tradition. For some, it is a religious doctrine and a taboo provided by the Creator.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">That SCOTUS decision was not a landmark victory for three percent of the population, but further testament in how far our nation, its people, and those whom they choose to operate their government have fallen away from the purity of that declaration in July of 1776 and the wisdom of the architects of the US Constitution and its amendments called the <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/documents/amendments.htm" target="_blank"><i>Bill of Rights</i></a>. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We have allowed three percent of the population to counter the will and the rights of a much larger majority. For decades it has been drilled into our society through the education system polluted by those who believe socialism is better than the system devised by the Founders, that has identified our government system as a democracy. If that were true, the three percent that won a social victory via an unlawful decision by the US Supreme Court should never have taken place because the hallmark of democracy is that the </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">majority rules</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. The truth is that the Founders, especially </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">John Adams</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Benjamin Franklin</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Thomas Jefferson</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, and </span></span><a href="http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/james-madison" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-style: normal;">James Madison</span></b></a><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">denounced democracy; embracing instead a constitutional republic based upon rule of law, law of the land. That law of the land is the US Constitution. They derived such a determination by careful study of history, learning from historical mistakes and the reality of what a monarchical rule is truly like. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Those that are zealous in establishing a 'second revolution' are delusional if they have in mind an uprising against a growing tyranny within the present-day governmental system. History shows that the American War of Independence was unique, not only because it was won against the strongest military in the world at the time, but its outcome. History shows us that revolutions have always ended up in chaos, anarchy and trading one tyrant for another. France tried revolution against its monarchy and demonstrated this truth when they traded the monarchy of King Louis for the tyranny of a dictator turned emperor by the name of Napoleon. The same applied to the transfer of the rule of the Czar in Russia to the rule of the Lenin/Stalin dictatorship who committed more cruel acts and tyranny than the history of monarchy in Russia. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What is needed in the United States is an earnest drive to return to what the Founders and architects of our Constitution intended and completed. This can only happen if the People, American society, awakens to the fact that a moral people with family and national values are the ones that will make the necessary change – not the politicians whose majority in control at this time is, to say the least, corrupted. In politics, fingers are pointed when something goes wrong more than viable ideas to solve the problems. The substance of the blame must fall upon the people who allowed a corrupt political organization create a regime by using the weakness of the people and with false hopes of a Utopia that can never exist because of human nature, not because of natural law. It is why in one level or degree, there will always be wars; despite efforts to stave off such negativity and destruction. We must always strive to avoid war, but when it comes we must always be determined to win. Avoiding war through isolation is delusional, and history has shown us the folly of such an ideology. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When the Founders created our nation it was a unique historical event and they hoped that other nations would look upon our system as favorable and adopt it for themselves. The United States was once a role model, despite its wrongful retention of slavery and not allowing lawful citizens to vote regardless of race or gender. While our nation did not always present itself as a good role model, its Constitution and the Bill of Rights were testament of what any nation could achieve, and any people could adopt and protect.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Our nation is failing because of a myriad of deceptions and fallacies, and that failure is not the fault of our Constitution; but in reality it is occurring because we have fallen away from its purpose and that it is the foundation for all laws and regulations of the government - “For the People and By the People”.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you want to see a clear and rightful reformation to solve the problematic state of our Union, then you must reeducate yourself and understand the Constitution and the motivation and purpose that the Founders used to devise such a great document. The Constitution is only good if it is followed and its wisdom protected generation after generation. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It is a natural progression of technological advancement that changes occur, but that does not mean we should throw away tried-and-proven traditions and concepts, like the Constitution, just because it has been around for over two centuries. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Letter from </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Thomas Jefferson</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">to </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">James Madison</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, 1789:</span></span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>What is true of society, individually, is true of them all collectively; since the rights of the whole can be nor more than the sum of the rights of the individuals.</b></i></div></blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~4/FqbsZsYlPHk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~3/FqbsZsYlPHk/natural-law-with-freedom-comes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Keith Lehman)1http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2015/07/natural-law-with-freedom-comes.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900607157435934187.post-2882355383888430879Fri, 24 Jul 2015 10:58:00 +00002015-07-24T05:58:44.774-05:00ode to the welfare stateReformationTo Reform Our Government, We Must Reform Ourselves<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5zCa-D5TkMw/VbIZBKe8QoI/AAAAAAAAN2k/PFDbeSJ_TkU/s1600/Greetings%2Bfrom%2BWelfare%2BState.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5zCa-D5TkMw/VbIZBKe8QoI/AAAAAAAAN2k/PFDbeSJ_TkU/s200/Greetings%2Bfrom%2BWelfare%2BState.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&amp;jsonp=vglnk_143773100611710&amp;key=e7609c039c08d3ae00aebd97e6f0bffd&amp;libId=ichftt9i010110e3000DA9v23x9jn&amp;loc=http://dailycaller.com/2011/07/05/what-would-the-founders-do-about-welfare/&amp;v=1&amp;out=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304657804576401412033504294.html&amp;ref=https://www.bing.com&amp;title=What%20would%20the%20founders%20do%20about%20welfare?%20|%20The%20Daily%20Caller&amp;txt=Forty-four%20million%20Americans%20are%20on%20food%20stamps" target="_blank">Forty-million</a>Americans are on food stamps, 26 million more than in 2007 before Obama was elected.

The Democrat Party in its zeal to adopt socialism has been redistributing wealth and income for decades, the most obvious being the income tax system that Congress has refused to dissolve and replace it with a consumption flat-rate tax. In that way, everyone pays the same tax rate and those that can afford to purchase more will automatically pay more in taxes. Frankly, this was a tax system that the Founders generally approved. According to their writings, the Founders would have shot down the idea of income tax, especially being forced from wages and salaries before people had the opportunity to decide how to spend or invest it.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><a href="http://thedailyhatch.org/2012/09/06/private-charities-are-best-solution-and-not-government-welfare/" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: normal;">Milton Friedman</span></a></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">had a method to solve that problem.

Congress will approve funding for other nations and its people, but will make cuts of benefits for veterans who served their country by congressional approval. The government will cut its own national defense measures and armed forces capabilities, but continue to arm and support other nations. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We are protecting the border between North and South Korea, while our southern border is unsecured and allowing the invasion of illegal aliens in the millions.

The same goes for the amnesty of illegal alien invader lawbreakers – it is a quest for more votes of a given political party. Those same invaders are provided the same welfare benefits afforded legal citizens, which makes it more costly and more insane.

Political correctness was launched in the 1960s when Marxist and socialist organizations encouraged public outrage and demonstrations against the Vietnam War; a tool of communism in order to get the American leadership out of Vietnam to make way for communist control. Americans like <a href="http://www.1stcavmedic.com/jane_fonda.htm" target="_blank"><b>Jane Fonda</b></a>fell for this and is why she was tricked into being a communist poster girl for their propaganda. To this day she is still called Hanoi Jane by veterans of Vietnam (and their descendents). Problem is she has not changed her views and her loyalty to socialism, despite practicing the very capitalism that she hails to despise.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Political Correctness began as a social annoyance and has escalated into the '<a href="http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/mbarber/090527" target="_blank">Hate Crime</a>' mentality; which has inserted the “power of the state” into private society. It is approaching a crescendo not where unacceptable political thoughts will be criminalized. The <a href="http://www.faithfacts.org/christ-and-the-culture/gay-rights" target="_blank"><i>Gay Rights</i></a>folks are using this as their tool for dominating over the rights, liberties, and ideology of the majority of Americans. Like racism, they are also using guilt as a tool; professing rights that trample on other citizens rights. Yet, progressives who call themselves liberals, who are loyal to the so-called Democrat(ic) Party – are defiling their claim of promotion of democracy. Democracy decrees that the majority rule – so how can a small minority (3% or less) of the population tell the minority what is what? Hypocrisy is the trademark of liberal-progressive-socialists who hail the Democratic Socialist Party (Democrat Party) as the political organization to be in power. Well, at least those that are its leadership. Government is only as good as those that run it and as much integrity, values, and morality that the majority of the populace possess. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Democracy … while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy.

No mention was made in the </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Declaration of Independence </span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">or the </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Constitution of the United States</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. It is mentioned in the </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Federalist Papers</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">, but only negatively like the quote above.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">American society had grown tolerant of homosexuals and during the Clinton administration, the military's policy was: “Don't ask, Don't tell”. However, that was not good enough, despite that even though Christians and their churches rely on the scriptures of the New Testament for their behavior; many had some level of tolerance. Now that the minority of homosexuals have decided that they must be a part of civil rights, they assume that private sexual acts between two adults must be, by law, approved by everyone regardless of their beliefs and their rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States – the first amendment of the </span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Bill of Rights</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">. It is not a racial issue, it is an issue that involves sexual acts between people that is supposed to be private. It was upon that consensus that society began to be tolerant toward the concept. Whether or not there is mention in the Bible that such acts are considered ungodly and an abomination makes no difference to people with no set of values that require limitation. Progressives do not honor limitation, that is why they are comfortable with a government that has surpassed its constitutional limitations, encroaching upon rights of the People, sometimes even applauding the declination of rights and liberties prescribed by the Founders. Indeed, it has come to be that progressives who call themselves “liberal” have come to blame the Constitution for the crumbling of our republic and the woes they themselves have bestowed upon the nation via the government; all the while invoking the same part of the Constitution that puts in writing rights and liberties hailed as natural and provided by the Creator. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America rise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation. </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>– John Adams </b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Those that have been born here and are descendents from the era of the Age of Enlightenment, the Founders; who have grown to be unappreciated by modern generation of what provided liberties and rights We the People have today. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge.

The welfare state is designed where more and more of the populace becomes dependent upon government dole, which in reality is provided, for the most part, by the productive sector of society. As </span></span><b><span style="font-style: normal;">Margaret Thatcher</span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(who partnered with Ronald Reagan against growth of communism) stated:</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><b>The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. </b></i></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Does any of this pertain to present crisis in the United States?

Well, of course not, with that attitude. It will take We the People to reform ourselves (become self educated until the system teaches all children the truth about the Founders, our Constitution and its amendments, and then demand that only constitutionalists need apply to campaign for office. </span></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">The corrupted politicians and their political club is certainly not going to earnestly begin reformation on their own – it will take citizens to finally make a stand and demand that the media no longer be the mouthpiece for political clubs and their corruption, as well as examine the political and personal record of each candidate. Character counts as much as political experience. How a candidate voted in congressional action is important just as whether the candidates record shows that his/her words match his/her actions.

An established poverty level will afford some Americans a break, as well as exempting food and the purchase of a home from being under the national sales tax system.&nbsp;</span></span></span></h1><h1 class="long"><span style="font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It has been difficult to get Congress to repeal the 16th Amendment, that should never have passed after a US Supreme Court decision in 1911 that established it as an unconstitutional direct tax, especially when FDR made it an automatic deduction from payroll checks. The reason is that politicians do not like to reduce their control, and via the IRS, it has established control over what Americans earn. Every ten years a consensus is taken, mandated by constitutional law, and that is when the need to know exact income is necessary - not every year with time consuming and expensive paperwork.&nbsp; </span></span></span></h1><h1 class="long"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Congress needs to stop <a href="http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/susan-milligan/2011/11/01/congress-wastes-time-on-frivolous-votes" target="_blank">wasting time</a> and spend more of it fixing problems that members over the decades have caused. It is time they start earning the salary and benefits they receive. It is also time to remove the 'retirement' benefits, which no elected official should ever receive - and, like the executive office, institute term limits. Congress should practice looking at bills in the <a href="http://www.middletownpress.com/government-and-politics/20150524/congress-passes-short-term-solutions-to-long-term-challenges" target="_blank">long-term</a>, not just the <a href="http://www.sharonherald.com/news/nation/congress-takes-familiar-path-short-term-fixes/article_29ab1acf-0562-5c17-9bf1-609bb3d8e262.html" target="_blank">short-term</a>.</span></span></span></h1><h1 class="long"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This cannot be done unless We the People insist upon true reformation and bring the concept of the Founders' government, the constitutional republic, back into the system that has become diluted and corrupted. In addition, the media's control over elections and its bias and manipulative news reporting needs to be curtailed and ended. Media should be held responsible for objective and truthful reporting as the eyes and ears of the People, not the mouthpiece of corrupt politicians. Freedom of the Press does not mean the freedom to skewer information, produce bias reports, and report flat-out lies.&nbsp;</span></span></span></h1><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6I2-ZCLDjbM/VFLQb_zLeLI/AAAAAAAALiI/-FUg3YfgHVI/s1600/Wake-Up-America_banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It is not a sin to want to be successful in anything that anyone does for a career, but the gist of journalism should always be objectivity - being the eyes and ears of the public, not the mouthpiece for politicians or propaganda for their own political ideology.<br />The usefulness of the media is overplayed, because of how it has evolved. Part of the problem is that people depend too much on the media, especially when choosing a candidate to vote for because they end up choosing what the media wants you to choose. During elections they ignore the independent politicians, and when not being ignored, provide as much negative reporting as possible - even if they must make things up or rely on circumstantial evidence. This means that the media has gained control over the election process. It also means that the media, like the federal government, requires some serious reformation; but this cannot be done without the enlightenment of the public that is contrary to what the government controlled educational curriculum provides. It means that the public must use the vast network of information on the Internet in order to find a complete and truthful background on candidates campaigning for your vote. However, thanks to the Obama administration, the Internet is going to be under the thumb of federal control, meaning that like the educational institutions will end up only informing what they want the people to know, not what is truth. <br />We the People have to return the power back to the people, away from the corrupted government and its media minion.<br /><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~4/7_GZy7P_t7k" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~3/7_GZy7P_t7k/amtrak-train-wreck-and-media-credibility.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Keith Lehman)0http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2015/05/amtrak-train-wreck-and-media-credibility.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900607157435934187.post-1083486377972037833Sat, 09 May 2015 14:49:00 +00002015-05-09T09:49:26.979-05:00mother's dayHappy Mother's Day!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #660000;"><b>Wishing the best to mothers around the globe</b></span>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9kC8hKb96yU/VU4eUJlO9mI/AAAAAAAANXI/wdsANt-h4io/s1600/MOSC_055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9kC8hKb96yU/VU4eUJlO9mI/AAAAAAAANXI/wdsANt-h4io/s320/MOSC_055.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~4/-vzDWOcNWsw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~3/-vzDWOcNWsw/happy-mothers-day.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Keith Lehman)2http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2015/05/happy-mothers-day.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900607157435934187.post-7111605523513377913Sat, 09 May 2015 14:45:00 +00002015-05-09T09:45:35.467-05:00American Politicsbill whittleprogressivesVideoBill Whittle Explains the War on Culture and Values<a href="https://www.billwhittle.com/" target="_blank"><b>Bill Whittle</b></a> has a talent of explaining the background and hypocrisy of the socialist-communist mentality, here in the United States called "Progressives" (incorrectly called "liberals") who are more loyal to the so-called Democratic Party than their nation and its unique Constitution.

The program worked great and cost me $30.<br />Each time there was an upgrade, it would cost me at least $10, no problem. Now upgrades cost $49.95.<br />No problem, I said, if I don't want or need an upgrade, no problem. I am happy with the version I have because it does what I want it to do. When I purchased the original program I bought the CD version to keep in software library in case I purchased a new computer or had a crash.<br />Unfortunately, <i>Collectorz</i> decided that it would force people to upgrade to their latest version by putting a block on it so you cannot use it to add new DVDs; as I found out. You can use the database with what is already in the library, but when adding a new one to your collection - sorry, the pop-up says, you must upgrade to use it.<br />Too bad because Collectorz not only offers a database program for movies, but also books, games, comics, and music.<br />I guess some folks get too greedy.<br /><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~4/rJLNFhIQVCM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JeffersonsRebels/~3/rJLNFhIQVCM/collectorz-dvd-database-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Keith Lehman)0http://jeffersonsrebels.blogspot.com/2015/05/collectorz-dvd-database-review.html
